Correos bids farewell to the philatelic series SPAIN IN 19 DISHES with the Canary Islands and the Canarian sancocho as the dish being honored.

The recipe for cooking a Canarian sancocho consists of the following ingredients:

• 1 kg of salted fish (preferably wreckfish)

• 1 kg of large potatoes

• 1 kg of sweet potatoes

• olive oil

• parsley and salt to taste

Steps to follow for cooking:

1. Desalt the fish by soaking it for 24 hours, changing the water several times.

2. Place the sweet potatoes and potatoes, unpeeled and cut into large pieces, in a large pot, cover with water, and cook.

3. When the potatoes and sweet potatoes are almost cooked, add the desalted fish, cut into large pieces, and cook for a maximum of ten minutes so that it does not fall apart.

4. Once the ingredients are cooked, drain and serve.

This dish is eaten with red mojo sauce and pella de gofio.
